A Christmas Treat
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at 8:20PM 
Sticky frosting, that tickles your tongue,
and a large jolly man who lets you eat lots, but only if your young!
Young at heart I say, only for those who enjoy the day. 
For those who think that candy is keen!
Ginger breads, gumdrops and kisses galore!
When he calls we come running, hungry for more!
He jiggles his belly with a "Ho Ho Ho!"
While tall gumdrop spires are lined up in a row.
Come one! Come all! Enjoy this fine season! Come on, have a nibble! Try it!
For when it is over, beware, for it'll be time for a diet!Merry Christmas!

The gingerbread house was made by my very talented children. It sits on a cake stand surrounded by cotton fluff in our kitchen. The Baking Santa is my favorite. Sorry about the very poor poetry. :P I am punch drunk from baking, wrapping, making and photographing.

Oh Abbie, I soooo enjoyed your posting, the gingerbread house is amazing and your creative poetry made me laugh!
Happy Holidays. Ü
Wow this is a wonderful gingerbread house! I bet they had a blast making it! I don't think, your poetry is poor, fits perfect to the photos you took! Makes me want to takes the house, like in the Fairy Tale, Haensel and Gretel......are you going to eat it or leave it for a little longer to look at?
Merry Christmas!
Smiles, Anke ;)
